The following is the list of the top 3 news on Tempo English today:
1. Bali Tightens Rules for Foreign Tourists
The Provincial Government of Bali has tightened regulations for foreign tourists visiting the island through Circular No. 7 of 2025, which outlines a revised code of conduct. Governor Wayan Koster said the circular specifies obligations, prohibitions, and potential sanctions for foreign visitors while staying in Bali.
Koster said that the new guidelines refine a similar circular issued in 2023, adjusted to reflect changes during his temporary absence from office.
Among the key rules, tourists are required to dress modestly, appropriately, and respectfully—especially when visiting sacred sites, tourist attractions, public spaces, or engaging in activities around Bali. Tourists are also expected to behave respectfully at temples, tourist destinations, restaurants, shopping areas, roadways, and other public areas.
2. Nintendo Delays U.S. Preorders for Switch 2 Over Tariff Concerns
On April 2, 2025, Nintendo introduced its latest console, the Switch 2. Not even 24 hours after the global announcement, the United States government announced a new tariff policy targeting products from Japan, China, and Vietnam, the three main countries in Nintendo's supply chain.
As a result, Nintendo decided to delay the Switch 2 pre-orders in the U.S., which was originally scheduled for April 9, 2025. "Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025, in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions," Nintendo stated in Engadget as quoted from Antara last Saturday. However, the global launch schedule on June 5, 2025, remains unchanged.
3. Indonesia Secures Ticket to 2025 U-17 World Cup After 4-1 Triumph Over Yemen
The Indonesia U-17 national team secured their second victory in Group C of the 2025 AFC U-17 Asian Cup after winning 4-1 against Yemen at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Monday, April 7, 2025. With this victory, the Young Garuda squad secured a ticket to the 2025 U-17 World Cup.
The Indonesia U-17 team took the lead in the first half through goals made by Zahaby Gholy and Fadly Alberto Henga. Yemen narrowed the score with a penalty goal from Mohammed Wahib Al-Garash early in the second half, before Evandra Florasta scored from a penalty kick in the 87th minute, adding another goal two minutes later.
